but the nsa interception on zelensky from february of this year , it follows from it that the stateshind-the-scenes conversations at the bank zelensky on february 28 expressed concern to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general valeriy zaluzhny and unknown to the ukrainian official, that ukraine does not have longer-range missiles capable of reaching the deployment of russian troops in russia and nothing with which to attack them it was before , how the uk delivered its storm shadow to kiev and now the french will send long-range scalps to ukraine , the conclusion suggests itself that the states are adjusting nato's policy in including, based on such secret reports of their special services, the states are watching their nato friends in quotation marks, for example, is berlin flirting with beijing, here is the nb report on the results of the meeting of representatives of the german ministry of defense with chinese colleagues, the germans were aware that the prc is trying charm europe in the face of strong us pressure and the germans believe. that they are suppor

the nsa gathered. these clues up and briefed the fbi. the fbi obviously is the organization that that investigates espionage. the fbi took more than two years trying to figure out and based on the clues they thought it was a man they thought probably at cia. but the reality is they kind of spun their wheels for a long time a very brave analyst at nsa. i interviewed her and she goes under a pseudonym. i call her elena in the book. she would not take no for an answer. she got very frustrated, the fbi, that this wasn't going anywhere. she went behind the back, the fbi, and found investigators at dia, where coincidentally on work that she didn't know this at the time. she shared these clues with the dia. again, fbi didn't know about this. and when they learned they were not happy. the analyst elena was threatened with fired and being over this what they thought was a transgression the dia got these clues entered them into their database and in no time at all found ana montes his name on a list. other basically suspects. but scott carmichael

in partnership with the nsa, u.s.ber command and nsa have a critical mission to defend forward. >> and, obviously, the nsa, working with u.s. cyber command informs that we are vulnerabilities are with the adversaries are. and it keeps them out of our networks but also will work with our partners and allies to impose costs on the adversary. so ukraine is a perfect case and point. we talked about this publicly about how in both to russia invading ukraine that we were working with ukrainians to build in resilience, and then after the russian invasion, the networks were more secure as a result of our work with them. but the ability to hit an adversary or to take down the servers and their ability to operate, it is a capability that we reserve and we need to employ at critical times which i know we don't. >> excellent, jim himes. >> thank you, mister chairman, and a big thank you again to our panel i want to circle back around 2702 because it is one of the two or three big things that we have to do in this committee this y

is now in the focus of the alliance's attention to the situation in ukraine in the materials of the nsag with the alliance of five eyes links to the interception of secret documents of the main operational department of the russian general staff and the national center department of defense, apparently, there were attempts to penetrate the closed computer network of the russian ministry of defense. these departments of the main operational directorate on february 27 provided information about the target of the oil storage and equipment of the ukrainian armed forces in krivoy rog , which could potentially be hit on an unspecified date, a representative of the russian ministry of defense requested orders for further reconnaissance and transmission of target coordinates to the command group on the battlefield to destroy the target there and about our plans of struggle with nato tanks sent to ukraine since april 23. this is the title of a summary about the details of the plans. true, in the most general terms, how they received these intelligence means whatsapp turns on the camera, then the

this time we remember the scandal of 21, when the danish danish intelligence helped the nsa, not thecians, yes, including just german politicians, including the then chancellor, madam, mirkel, and macron, who, by the way, later had his hands in his side and was very indignant, that's why that's it, then we see that, as it were, a person understands that of course, all these european leaders are one thing, well, how would one need to report to the americans. well, now , as it were, the option is really quite a compromise in quotation marks, that is. they take it completely like a freaking radical russophobe like kallas and because of this, well, a very large-scale escalation, therefore , sanurin has not yet reached there, for example, from finland because they discussed it, but nevertheless, no, but i take this in general, of course, a russophobe a person who can and is capable of and will promote the policies that nato needs to pursue the us west the building is a very important hub. that is, this is a country in which, if it’s so roughly portrayed, yes, then all these internet cable

here the americans suspect they don’t read the cia’s nsa american gadget, it’s easier to join than tofingers in the russian ministry of industry and trade introduced a ban on the use of apple technology for official purposes in their decision and apparently everything is based on information from the fsb which testifies to the close cooperation of the american company with the national intelligence community, in particular the us rostec following. behind him, the body also forbade all its employees, including organizations that are part of the state corporation, to use apple gadgets. the capabilities of the national security agency and other western intelligence services are growing and you need to be prepared for this. to begin with, it’s enough to understand that the phrase - this is not a telephone conversation becomes more and more relevant anton podkorenko cyril bubblegum news of the week. without a sucker, life is bad, you understand it's funny, but the all-seeing eye of the american intelligence services, which knows about what is happening anywhere in the world, did not help s

since the last election is that various government agencies, intel agencies, law enforcement, fbi, cia, nsa, were involved in shaping public opinion about the last election. they interfered with our election. and that suggests to a lot of people that maybe those agencies have too much unchecked power. you've worked in government. what do you think? >> well, yes, that's true. you know, when i was governor, i went and replaced the heads of every agency. it's the first thing i did when i came to office. it's the first thing a president should do. you control what you can control, and you start with your agency. so i replaced the heads of every agency. i made sure they were people -- some didn't vote for me, but they were people who knew that sector. so if it was veterans, it was someone who knew the challenges of veterans. if it was tourism, it was someone who knew heads and beds, people on golf courses. they knew what they needed to do. and i did that across the board. but the second thing i did is i put people in every agency. i sent in teams into every agency to clean it up, pull down regul

three years since the last election is that various government agencies, law enforcement, fbi, cia, nsa were involved in shaping public opinion about the last election to that interfered with the whole election and that suggest to a lot of people maybe those agencies have too much unchecked power. you think? >> well yes, that's true but when i was governor i went and replaced the heads of every agency, if the first had to but i came to office, the first thing a president should do, you control what you control. you start with your agency care i replace method of agency make sure there were people, some. didn't vote for me but there were people knew that sector. m if it was veterans that was someone who knew thehe challengs of veterans for it was tourism in somebody who knew what they need to do and i did that acros the board for the second thing you did it i put people in every agency. i sent in teams and every agency to clean it up, hold and regulations, pull down all issues, get rid of problem children in some cases we had to tweak agencies but in other cases we had to get agencies. i

nsa or the white house, this is now january of 21. the president comes in, here's the document, here's what we think to be prepared for and they waited until well past august to skip those agencies. is there truth to that? did you look at that to say what preparation was necessary? we heard that. i was part of everybody leaving trying to get people here and supportive of us, what was that modeling to the white house to say when president biden, 100 days before the election they put people in the administration. to be prepared for whoever the winner was did they provide the white house and analysis and when was that analysis responded to? >> that's not something my office has looked at. >> anybody. >> a very good question and your committee will look into that, we have not looked in the. who would be best for us to write to and say give us this much have looked at a number of these briefings and i have yet to see they provided this. the vulnerabilities how we might be approaching it and once again unfair, we heard the white house waiti

in it, former cia and nsa director michael haden is just a warning about donald trump. >> the president is supposed to keep our secrets secure, not show our secrets off. >> this was done by the military and given to me. see as president i could have declassified, now i can't. it's so cool. if >> he had many top secret documents at mar-a-lago for more than a year. we do not know who saw them. >> and as that case moves into the trial phase we have learned that the grand jury in the special counsel's january 6th investigation has now heard from dozens of witnesses. we are also following the latest on president biden's european trip, he is now in lithuania for a key nato summit which gets underway a few hours from now. earlier today he met with britain's king charles and prime minister rishi sunak. this comes as turkey announced it was dropping its objections to sweden joining nato, this means the alliance could expand even as it supports ukraine in the war against russia. meanwhile, a senior administration official tells nbc that president zelenskyy will meet with president biden on wednes

more information on what the intelligence community at the higher level, the agencies like cia, dia, nsag out about the intent of russia as they go into the future. what is happening inside the kremlin with the government. what is happening inside the russian military forces and the m.o.d. with minister shoigu and some of the subordinate generals. how are those fractures affecting what's going on potentially on the battlefield, and how will that relate to the kind of operation on tactical intelligence that the general needs for the continuation of a successful fight. it's fascinating to me that it's going relatively well. it's a combination of strategic, operational and tactical intelligence being fed to the ukrainian forces about what is going on in russia. i'm sure they have their own means of gathering that intelligence. this is just all contributing to it. >> this is the art of war. this is the art part of the art of war. always a pleasure to see you. thank you so much. >>> coming up, the armorer who was on the set of the deadly "rust" shooting is now being accused of handing off coc

possible thing, which would be a foreign adversary, then there are all sorts of ways that the fbi, the nsa, can conduct court authorized surveillance, just to emphasize, this would be with court approval. so that is another potential way that they would know about that conversation. as i noted, it's unusual because there is no sourcing for that particular statement. >> i think there's a third way as well. andrew's right about ways wanted to. the only other possibility, the evidence we basis for that statement is a contemporaneous account of it. de oliveira has a conversation with trump in presence of someone any spontaneously describes a conversation. we for instance, in our hearings, and a lot of testimony about the morning of january 6th, the very heated call between the president and vice president. we don't have anyone on the call providing us with information, but we had people that were listening in the oval office to the president on his end of the conversation. they described it in full. so there is some chance that that conversation, or that line in paragraph 91, was overheard by

tunisia anderson, maya hall, a black transgender woman who was killed by the nsa in baltimore days beforedie gray. talk about the significance of this book and why we have to make sure that we don't sort of fall into the trap of, you know, all blacks are men, and all women are white. we need to talk about the intersectionality of state sponsored violence against people of color. >> you put your finger on exactly the conceptual gap that black women and girls who are victims of anti-black police violence fall into. look, we need people to know and understand that black women and girls and femes are all subject to anti-black police violence. full stop. this is not an exclusively male phenomenon. yet because the frameworks that we have are non-intersectional framework, we tend to think only men when we think about police violence. but the reality of black girls as young as 7, black women as old as 93, have been killed by the police. they have been killed having a mental health episode. they have been killed in their homes. all the same kind of things that happen while black, our brothers expe

daniel hale, nsa, has been brought -- i think that president trump has, in effect, opened the doors toinds of constitutions in state and country jurisdictions. state and county, i meant to say, jurisdictions. and undoubtedly in other countries, as well, that may not have a first amendment but have -- looking to some precedent for the united states. that's what it's able to do. so there's a full-scale, multi-front war going on not only in this country, and president trump is leading the way. amy: we end our show with daniel ellsberg in his own words on may 18, 2018, when i spoke to him at a right livelihood laureate gathering at the university of california-santa cruz. i asked him what message he had for government insiders who are considering becoming whistleblowers? >> my message to them is, don't do what i did. don't wait until the bombs are actually falling or thousands more have died before you do what i wish i had done years earlier, in 1964 or even 1961, on the nuclear issue. and that is, reveal the truth that you know, the dangerous truths that are being withheld by the governme

the same ultimate breakdown or you admit students any a student of a certain race engines the race in nsa? all of that is harder. schools will understand this is what you cannot overtly say you have policies that encourage what the supreme court now said you cannot do but many schools have made clear they try to get to the same results and that opens up to a lot more looking behind that. looking at how these policies and practices work which has been happening more under the employment context for some time but as melissa said we may see it in the employment context. in the past it has been more traditional conceptions of discrimination on the basis of race. we will start seeing it more and of the context of efforts to promote diversity within the workplace. certainly a tremendously important decision but the beginning. not the end of a lot of litigation in this area. andy: i completely agree. i think this is the beginning. i think the other question we don't know the answer to is what does this mean for programs that are designed to lead to a diverse workforce or diverse student body but

analyst former member of joint staff at the pentagon and former deputy director for training at the nsa, retired colonel cedric later and cnn senior political analyst nia-malika henderson. all-star panel to talk about the news happening. so much going on. let's start with this meeting. i want to get your reaction to this, ambassador, this meeting between prigozhin and putin just days after this attempted coup. >> pamela, it's hard to understand. i mean, here is president putin who came out guns ablazing on the 24th of june saying that prigozhin was a traitor and stabbed the russian nation in the back and he was going to crush him, and then he meets with him again? i think this demonstrates putin's weakness. i think it really shows how weak he is. >> okay. so where has he been for the next 11 days? >> who knows? that's the right question, phil. we don't know where this guy was but clearly he was not under control. clearly he was not in belarus. he was not going by the deal that he apparently struck with putin through lukashenko so we don't know. >> what is the sits of this? like in the l

the nsa have no clue what i'm going to do when you pass 60 like me. it's like, no, man, really.i'm thinking about to retire and in another year or two and then you hit me with this here. one man says he's been driving for yellow for decades and now says he'll only get a fraction of his pension. it is not the first time the company has faced bankruptcy either. in 2008, recession there brought the company to its knees and yellow only survived by getting getting pay cuts from union members and wiping out shareholders at the same time, ukraine is taking the fight to russia, hitting moscow with another drone strike as the counteroffensive grinds on. fox correspondent trey jinxed has more from jerusalem. with the ukrainian counteroffensive remaining largely stalled on the ground, the ukrainian military is taking the fight to the russians on their home turf. over the weekend, a drone attack was launched against russia, at least one building in moscow's economic district was hit and the airspace over the city was temporarily closed. further south in russian occupied crimea, at least 25

member of the joint staff, i should say, the pentagon and former deputy director for training at the nsajust showed people, what's your reaction hearing what dmitry medvedev said? >> i think it's very concerning, poppy. good morning to you. one of the things that the russians are looking at is the fact that they annexed, officially annexed all of this territory right here that the russians have occupied. so, what that could mean is that when you look at all of the different possible paths, if the ukrainians come in this way and take this territory, the threat from medvedev is that they would potentially use tactical nuclear weapons. that, of course, would be a game changer in a case like this. >> colonel layton, can you walk people through dragon's teeth, it sounds like a buzzy type of title, but when you go into what that actually means, it underscores why this is such a slog, why this is such a complex moment in the counteroffensive. what does that actually mean? >> phil, what that really means is, when you look at all of the different places that the ukrainians are moving in, so if th

this is from the nsa. people that handle our signals intelligence. of our most classified documents. why are you keeping these? why are you lying about these? these are not your documents. these are the documents of america and the american people and if they got into the wrong hands that hurts us. when you look at the number of events held at mar-a-lago, donald trump still has not told us what security he put in place in order to protect these documents. it is not the secret service's responsibility to protect these documents. it was his. he has not explained to us why he had them. he hasn't explained to us why he was keeping this stuff. this guy is a national security risk. you know who is loving all of this? you know who is laughing right now? is our adversaries -- the chinese government, the russian governments are reveling in the fact that the -- one of the leaders of, you know, the primary candidate in the republican party has so much baggage and so much issue and he is more worried about not dying in prison than he is in doing what is right fo

>> we have unified command cybercom led by general nakasone whose dual headed as the nsa and that commit each of the services have component to cybercom and we have got cyber protection teams for defense and cyber team for offense. we have without going into a lot of detail, i would tell you have an incredible cyber capability that can do incredible damage to an adversary on the offense, and cyber command in commendation with nsa does a lot of work to protect our infrastructure, information , information technologies, et cetera particularly in dod. >> the time of the gentleman has expired. now recognize the gentleman from tennessee for five minutes. >> thank you, chairman rogers and the like to think that witnesses today people's of like to thank the men and women who are serving in our military that you will have the honor to lead. i want to discuss some readiness issues with you today. there was a a poll done earlir this month by "wall street journal" and norc which is a nonprofit research group out of university of chicago that's entitled america pulls back from tigers that once defin

cia, nsa, dod, have them explain, yes, this is my document, yes, it's important. or someone from the office as an umbrella office and say, yes, i can tell you these documents are all classified. but predict that defense will fight every single one. make them show their work. why is this top secret? who says it's top secret? this is the thing we'll see to potentially protract this case. >> we've seen, katie, what the attorneys wrote, quote in general, the defendants believe there should be simply no secret said nor any facts concealed from the public view relative to the prosecution of a leading presidential candidate by his political opponent. our democracy demands no less than full transparency. what's the answer to that? >> well, it's what we call gray mail, right? it's this idea that donald trump is trying to threaten jack smith by saying, fine, you want to play, let's play. and we're going to sit there and make sure that the american public sees all of this classified information. don't understand estimate somebody like special counsel jack smith. this is not

nsf, nsa have all made commitments in a similar vein. the work from philanthropies is critical to the development and growth of ecosystemscraig newma, committing $5 million to support and expand cybersecurity and open-source security ecosystems including work to ensure the next generation is informed and activated to engage across these technologies. the department of labor is investing in the apprenticeship program. opm has job fairs. department of housing and urban development joint of the cyber talent initiative in july of 2023. partnering to fill one million entry-level jobs in the next decade by providing a robust cybersecurity platform. nca will be kicking off its second year of its hbcu accredited colleges and universities in nevada, minnesota, louisiana and virginia. encouraging skill-based hiring that is empowered. ecosystem development, microsoft has made commitments. google.org has made commitments in collaboration with the consortium of cyber clinics, over $20 million to help thousands of students receive hands-on experience.

setharaman, head of the nsa, known as perform anch easier to say. and dr. catherine catherine fisr from darpa, a the defense advanced research project agency. our moderator will be the president of dakota state university. so, it's a broad range of presenters, from academic, defense, energy, and scientific backgrounds. it will be a great discussion and truly important one, because senators have no time to waste learning as much about a.i. as possible. a.i. is going to be a regular part of our lives from here on out, rapid changes may at times seem frightening, but if applied correctly a.i. promises to transform life on earth for the better. but there are real risks too. we must now work to anticipate the risks, mitigate them, and ensure that a.i. innovation is safe in the decades to come. so i encourage all senators to attend the briefing on the 26th. i thank our presenters, who had join us that day, and i thank my colleagues, particularly senators, rounds, heinrich and young for working together as a team and putting this briefing together. now, on inflati

thing that i think we see in this gets to the russian that that the russian interference theme that the nsawas alluding to is that. one of the things, by the way, you had to read through 6000 pages of this blog like i did over the past couple of months. one of the things you'll find is the that it really reinforces the mainstream media notion that every problem that america faces economically and social is essentially imported from russia. okay, so why focus on richardson? of the reasons i'm actually focusing on richardson is because i actually genuinely respect her as a scholar. i'm a community college instructors talk about i teach lots of survey courses. i rely a lot on her work, particularly on the wounded massacre and political conspiracies. surrounding that. so she actually has a very, very you know legit scholarly credentials. but importantly, it's her reach. her substack has become so popular that based on the best public data that we available to us, she has of thousands of subscribers and an on annual basis is earning about gross pretax at least $5 million from her substack a year
